EverOS 1.0.0 is a major release for self-evolving memory. It brings a local-first runtime, Markdown as the source of truth, hybrid retrieval, multimodal ingestion, user and agent memory scopes, and modular algorithms through EverAlgo.
Watch this repository for the next wave of memory-system work, including Wiki-style knowledge layers and Dreaming for deeper offline evolution.
|
Markdown As Source Of Truth All memory is persisted as .md files: readable, editable,
grep-able, Git-versioned, and openable directly in Obsidian.
|
Local Three-Part Stack Markdown + SQLite + LanceDB keep vectors, BM25, and scalar filters local. No MongoDB, Elasticsearch, or Redis required. |
Dual-Track Memory Agent memory ( cases / skills) and user memory
(episodes / profile) are extracted independently.
|
|
Multimodal Ingestion Text, images, audio, documents, PDFs, HTML, and email are unified into searchable memory. |
Self-Evolution Common skills are extracted from real usage; repeated patterns become reusable workflows, no retraining required. |
Orthogonal Retrieval Search independently by user_id, agent_id,
app_id, project_id, and session_id.
|
EverOS is an open-source Python framework for self-evolving long-term memory across agents and platforms. It gives makers one portable memory layer for every agent they use - Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, and more - so context, decisions, files, and trajectories can follow the work instead of staying trapped in one tool.
EverOS stores conversations, agent trajectories, and files as readable Markdown, then syncs local SQLite and LanceDB indexes for fast retrieval. Agents can reuse past cases and skills, improve from repeated workflows, and become more proactive over time.
The system is built around three boundaries:
- Memory content stays readable - Markdown is the durable source of truth.
- Runtime state stays local - SQLite tracks state and LanceDB handles vector, BM25, and scalar-filter search.
- Algorithms stay modular - EverAlgo owns memory algorithms; EverOS owns runtime, persistence, online flows, and offline evolution.
uv pip install everos
# or: pip install everosGenerate a starter .env file, then fill the API key fields shown in
the generated comments.
everos initeveros init writes ./.env by default. Use everos init --xdg to
write ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/everos/.env instead.
everos --help
everos server starteveros server start searches for .env in this order: --env-file <path> →
./.env (cwd) → ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/everos/.env → ~/.everos/.env.
The endpoint stack is OpenAI-protocol compatible (OpenAI / OpenRouter / vLLM /
Ollama / DeepInfra) - override *__BASE_URL in the generated .env to point
at any of them.
For a step-by-step walkthrough (add a conversation, flush, search, then read the markdown), see QUICKSTART.md.
To ingest non-text content (image / pdf / audio / office documents)
through /api/v1/memory/add content items, install the optional
extra:
uv pip install 'everos[multimodal]' # or: pip install 'everos[multimodal]'This pulls in everalgo-parser (with the [svg] bundle for SVG
support via cairosvg) and wires up the multimodal LLM client
(EVEROS_MULTIMODAL__* fields in .env, defaults to
google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).
Office document support requires LibreOffice as a system dependency.
The parser shells out to soffice (LibreOffice's headless renderer) to
convert .doc / .docx / .ppt / .pptx / .xls / .xlsx to PDF
before feeding the result into the multimodal LLM. Without LibreOffice,
office uploads return HTTP 415 with a clear error message; PDF / image
/ audio / HTML / email parsing is unaffected.
Install on the host before serving office documents:
brew install --cask libreoffice # macOS
sudo apt-get install -y libreoffice # Debian / Ubuntugit clone https://github.com/EverMind-AI/EverOS.git
cd EverOS
uv sync # creates ./.venv and installs deps
source .venv/bin/activate # or prefix commands with `uv run`
everos init # fill the four API key slots in .env (two distinct keys)

Open any <app>/<project>/users/<user_id>/ folder in Obsidian — your
agent's brain is just files. The dotfile directories (.atomic_facts/,
.foresights/, .cases/) stay hidden by default so the visible folder
is the user-facing memory surface, while extracted derivatives sit
quietly alongside.
- Hybrid retrieval: BM25 + cosine vector ANN + scalar filters, backed by LanceDB
- Cascade index sync: edit a
.md→ file watcher → entry-level diff → LanceDB sync, sub-second - Multi-source extraction: conversations / agent trajectories / file knowledge
- Dual-track memory: user-track (Episodes / Profiles) + agent-track (Cases / Skills)
- Async-first: full asyncio, single event loop
- Multi-modal: text + small image / audio inline; large media via S3/OSS reference
